Bath repair in Preston without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Do you need bath repair in Preston?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Preston
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Preston. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Preston questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you work in Preston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Preston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Preston.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HA9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
